    :puke2: :jawdropper: :redface2: :wtf:  As you can see, we have an AFA graded IGA Smokescreen for the low low price of $30,000. To add to the insanity, this guy is doing local pickup only. He's either high, or this is some kind of joke. Then, we have some more standard offerings, but wait, what does the 4th one say? Yes, you read that right, this guy wants $100 for shipping his $12,500 Fortress Maximus. Look, if that's how much you're going to charge, at least throw in free shipping. But, you can charge anything you want on Ebay, that does not mean that people will buy it...

    :wtf: :banghead:  Are you freakin kidding me? Somebody actually payed $8000 for an AFA Shockwave, plus $40.00 shipping. I've lost a little bit of my faith in humanity, and I don't have a lot to begin with.:cry

    Watch them all being knock offs. I picked up a few knock off box sets menasor and Defenser and both are cool for what they were.

    I saw one of those at my Target earlier today. I found it funny and infuriating at the same time.

    It was also all Slashes on every peg, but that's another thing entirely.

    I couldn't understand why it was in the uncool thread when I saw it. I figured it had to be a mistake. Glad to see it fixed.

    Oh, no, those aren't new shipments. Those are overstock from the back room that never made it to the shelves beforehand and now with the pallet/endcap displays, they can put them out. It's that bad. My son works at Walmart, he's seen the back room, it's a horrible mess and most Walmarts are like his.

    We have one Walmart with the exception of the TLK stuff has not gotten anything for months for TR. No Legends, Deluxe, Voyager or Lead class. The last Leader class I saw there was Sixshot. and that was back in March. Target has went from wave 4 to wave 1 and 2 as well. This shit is getting crazy.

    It looks like it is made completely out of Gold Plastic Syndrome plastic.
